Dead blow hammer KS Tools 140.5259

The KS Tools Dead blow hammer model 140.5259 combines a high-mass polyurethane head with a reinforced fiberglass handle to deliver controlled impact and reduced rebound. The tool has a total weight of 5.76 kg, with the striking head itself weighing 5.5 kg and a handle length of 89 cm. Designed for heavy-duty use, the hammer provides precise force transfer while minimizing bounce back, making it suitable for tasks that require strong, repeatable strikes without damaging surrounding surfaces.

Advantages

The polyurethane head resists chipping and deformation while absorbing shock to protect the workpiece. The fiberglass handle offers enhanced strength and durability with reduced vibration transmission to the user. The dead blow design significantly reduces rebound, improving strike accuracy and operator control when performing heavy blows. The overall construction is intended for long service life under demanding conditions.

Suitable for

• Automotive bodywork and component alignment
• Construction and installation of heavy assemblies
• Metalworking tasks requiring impact without surface damage
• Maintenance, repair and assembly where controlled force is needed

Key specifications

• Head material: polyurethane
• Handle material: fiberglass
• Total weight: 5.76 kg
• Head weight: 5.5 kg
• Handle length: 89 cm
• Tool type: dead blow hammer

How to use

Grip the fiberglass handle firmly with both hands when delivering heavy strikes, keeping the body balanced and eyes on the target. Position the head square to the contact surface and apply steady controlled blows to transfer force efficiently while minimizing rebound. Use progressive force when aligning parts or seating components, adjusting impact intensity as needed to avoid surface damage. Inspect the head and handle before use for cracks or significant wear and replace the tool if safety is compromised.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, select strike points on clean, stable surfaces and avoid hitting sharp edges directly. Store the hammer in a dry place away from direct heat to preserve the polyurethane head and fiberglass handle. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves during operation. Regularly check the head condition and replace the tool if the head shows severe wear or the handle is damaged.
